Ecology of Conflict

This was for an article for California Magazine on the interesting fact due to the Somali pirates, tuna, marlin and wahoo populations have soared in that part of the Indian Ocean. Since I'm very interested in military history and the environment, this was an rare intersection of my interests to say the least.

The article included other conflicts, so I had to cover my bases, but of course I was hoping for the Pirates.

Had to do quite a few color studies to come up with something simple that would unite the skull, RPG and marlin and still seem somewhat natural to what they are.
